Rangers Pull Out of 2026/27 CAF Champions League Over Financial Challenges

Published on: 22 July 2026

Sierra Leone Premier League champions Bo Rangers have withdrawn from the 2026/27 CAF Champions League after citing financial constraints as the reason for their decision, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The club confirmed that it will no longer participate in Africa's premier club competition despite securing qualification by winning the Sierra Leone Premier League title.

Bo Rangers explained that the financial demands associated with competing in the CAF Champions League made it impossible for the club to honour its place in the tournament.

The withdrawal represents a major setback for both the club and Sierra Leonean football, with the country's participation in the competition now in doubt.

Unless the relevant football authorities approve a replacement, Sierra Leone could be left without a representative in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League.
